We would really appreciate everyone’s support to promote this event via social media, word of mouth, radio etc.
We’d like to remind you that this Friday (22 September) is the day of our Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) meet and greet event.
The event will take place from 10am to 2pm, at Harvest Barn Farm shop in Farcet (PE7 3DR) alongside Darryl Preston, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire.
It is being held during National Rural Crime Week (18th to 24th September) – a week to help highlight rural crime in communities, how they can be affected and how people can help.
Sergeant Tom Nuttall from RCAT said: “This event provides a great opportunity for people to engage with us, find out more about the work the police do and our team do more specifically.
“There will also be information and advice to those who live in farming, agricultural or rural communities about how they can keep safe and report any suspicious activity.”
Interested in attending? You do not need to buy a ticket and can just visit on the day.

Has someone has made a ?!?!?! – It appears….maybe
My research and question to Cambs Highways….
I’m afraid we are very much waiting on the developer to finish their works.
We believe they were still waiting for a power supply and lighting to be installed.
It looks like this may now be programmed for late October.

I am plugging away again, it is just as easy for residents to report issues – as it is for me or any other Councillor, – why – you know the full facts – most of the time we only get the highlighted issue and not the whole picture. I’ve just had a ‘flooding’ issue on Aliwal Road,
no pictures and only a scant report and !Complaint! – I have to find the address, the postcode and what type of problem it was….. what would have taken the resident 5 minutes – takes me 30 minutes – this for every issue that is reported to me…..
Yes I have done it…..
